Artkillart is a label that will celebrate its upcoming 10th anniversary with a tour that includes a visit to DE PLAYER.

Artkillart operates from both Paris and Berlin since 2007, promoting experimental audiovisual and sound art. In reaction to the dematerialization of music (the general disappearance of music released in its physical form), the artists of the Artkillart label roster refocus their releases as material objects. They are invited to conceptualize and design objects that explores the qualities, complexities and limits of different media formats, including the dvd, cd, and vinyl record. The aim is to create an object which is an experience to both the artist and audience.http://artkillart.org/▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬■ BCK (fr)BCK (rybn + nicolas montgermont) is, on one side, ccrt monitors transformed into analog synths, and, on the other side, distorded sinuses that interweave together into powerful frequencies. They are fully experimental in investigating sound in its media spectrum. With modular synthi + computer they use a variety of different means for sound, from old crt screens, stroboscopes, lasers, and so on. The music is deeply into waves and cryptography/steganography. Their latest release was fully digital and really trying to engage it at its limit. They have also participated to Yann Leguay’s SSR (silkscreen) records series, with the SSR : 22 - musical cryptogram. RYBN.ORG is an extra-disciplinary artistic research platform founded in 1999. RYBN.ORG operates in the field of economics, cybernetics and magic, through the production and the collection of uncanny systems and apparatus (kamikaze trading bots, kabbalistic computers, malfunctioning algorithms, etc.). http://www.rybn.org/bckhttp://www.uncanny.fr/edition/МАТРЁШКА---bck.phphttp://phonotopy.org/SSRweb.html

■ SASCII (fr) is visual artist Sylvie Astié at Dokidoki Studio (Paris) who runs the doki doki label, the exact reverse of artkillart (pop, colorfull) but also very deeply involved with the experimental scene. She's a really great dj and a good option to end the night……DJ Sylvie Astié (aka Sascii) has conceived and designed the 'no-text' website which features original ringtones that commissioned from artists on the alternative electro scene. She is also very much involved in the current visual arts scene, in digital video (Pokipoki project – cinetic videomix) and in an original approach to karaoke (« Orchestre vide »).http://editions.dokidoki.fr

■ ARNAUD RIVIÈRE (fr) A traficker in the DIY area. With metal pieces, wires and stuff stuck into the mixing board he cracks his audiosystems. A pick up, rather plastic one, explosion required, but re-enforced to resist. It has to take it. Not necessarily using records, sometimes even metal one or other. Feedbackophile and unshamedly, Arnaud Rivière's performances are always full of unexpected matters and stuff, few diy electronics + turntable.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMhKWmo6oe8https://www.discogs.com/artist/707574-Arnaud-Rivière

■ VALENTINA VUKSIC (ch) from Zurich is a media artist and software developer. She engages with the physical foundations of technological systems by making computing environments audible. Her artistic activities since 2008 are encompassed by "Tripping Through Runtime" performances and settings. Since 2012, she has been an artistic research assistant for the ‘Computer Signals: Art and Biology in the Age of Digital Experimentation’ project by Hannes Rickli at Zurich University of the Arts. Her instruments are mainly EM pickups, chasing the radiations of computers due to weird activity. https://vimeo.com/23282529http://harddisko.ch

■ NICOLAS MONTGERMONT (fr) Nicolas Montgermont explores the physicality of waves in different forms. He is interested in the reality of waves in space, the way they move and change, the links between a source and our perception, by designing setups that create a sensitive exploration of its poetic essence. Nicolas works with sound waves mainly through the vibration of materials and their propagation, natural and artificial electromagnetic waves in the form of radio landscapes, gravitational and sidereal energies through the double prism astronomy / astrology. Nicolas creates installations, often in collaboration with Cécile Beau. He is also active in the audiovisual performance field with chdh, and in experimental music with BCK and Yi King Operators. He has published several editions on Art Kill Art.http://nimon.org/

■ Jan Kees van Kampen (nl) Media artist/performer and composer Jan-Kees van Kampen studied dutch language, literature, and philosophy at the University of Amsterdam, and Music Technology at the Art School of Utrecht, where he specialised in computer composition. He will present a short live set / performative installation named 'Accelerating a Tractor'; a Lorenz attractor and cellular automata are set up to cross-pollinate, resulting in a variety of surprising as well as expected signals, which are then made audible. http://0x56.net/
